In this video, I show you how easy it is to draw a perfect 5 point star, or 5 sided star, in Photoshop. And how to save the star as a custom shape so you'll never need to draw it again! To draw the star shape, we'll use one of Photoshop's shape tools. But Adobe made changes to the shape tools in Photoshop 2021. So to follow along with this lesson, you'll need 2021 or later.
